MARTINS FERRY.

Quite a number of our people attended
the funeral of DR.. W. r. Garrison yester'

There is rather q novel strike at the
.Laughlin mill which has closed the plant
down in all departments. The water from
the wells is unfit to drink and the spring
at Mr.. Walters boarding house
will not furnish water enough to
supply the five hundred men and boys
about the mill. AS a natural consequence,
water has to be gotten as best it can, anc
the long distance it has to be carried, and
the great amount used, causes the men "a
lose considerable time. Yesterday the
whole force struck for ice water TO oe
furnished in the future.
Several of the recent acquisitions to ouI

the pointer first.

On Wednesday afternoon the employees
of the mould shop at the Buckeye glass
works quit work and went home, their
opposition to remaining being an alleged
i~nfraction of one OF the shop rules of the
union. Walter Griffith, an apprentice,
had been at work knocking gates from a
casting, and preparing it tor the workmen.
This was done, it is stated, by the man
agement, in the hope OF getting n certain
mould into the factory before the stop so
some samples could he made. The mould
makers were off Yesterday and called the
factory men to their assistance. Several
conferences were held between the man
ayers and the union committee yesterday,
but whether or not any satisfactory ar
rangement was made could not be learned.
The matter is of minor Importance and It's
final settlement depends largely upon some
rules to be made at the national convention
to be held in Saratoga this month.
